A long time Bitcoin Standard bearer actively training myself and my peers (so I have some), in the battle over ownership of our data, our money, and our communication channels in the war between decentralized free individuals and the centralized tyranny of the crowd.

Here's a link to a song written at the same time that Bitcoin's whitepaper was, before the 1st block was even mined. It's as relevant today as it was then, and Max's included in a clip from 15 yrs ago calling out USD as toilet paper even back then. Let's show some Bitcoiner love by sending sats to this account. This artist is ripe for orange-pilling, let's show them how the latest LN solutions can be used as earning, not just saving technology. #tunestr

Here's why the Nostr and Lightning Network protocols will inevitably win the day... Without permission from anyone, I used two free AI tools (Chatgpt & https://beta.elevenlabs.io/sign-up) to take the content off the www.Voltage.Cloud website. Then I rewrote a bullet point list of the Cons of running your own DIY node and the Pros of using the Voltage node service, using that script and plugged it into a text-to-speech AI solution from 11 Labs to create an audio file of it. Then I used another free solution, the Headliner App ( to turn that audio file I could post on Twitter and am sharing on here now. Soon, I'll be upgrading to create custom voices and AI videos with multiple Avatars to present my educational materials that I created a #BTCcrowdfunding page here: IF you want me to create more of this for us all, SEND ME SOME SATS! I'm looking to YOU guys for support (please like, share, & zap me baby!), my course includes your projects that I'll be promoting and training people to access and use: #[0] #[1] #[2] #[3] #[4] #[5] Let's prove this concept works and see how long it takes to raise a full BTC so I can pay some LN Devs and prompt engineers to do this quickly and effectively! #zapraiser 100,000,000

I'm currently creating a Nostr and Telgram integrated learning management system for a Nostr Hackathon I'm participating in, with my first training module: "Bitcoinizing Your Podcast: How to Monetize Your Content, Turning Your Fans into Patrons By Using the LNMPowerMint League's Integrated SatStreaming Tool Set!". This first module is designed as one of many intended to empower musicians and music venues by on boarding them, their technicians, and their audiences with the earning capabilities that the LN V4V and satstreaming tech stack is bringing all digital content creators. One of which is Wavlake, a powerful empowerment tool on its own, made more so when combined with a musical podcast RSS feed. For those of you that may be interested here's the current version of my start up's elevator pitch. "At LNMPowerMint, we believe in empowering digital content creators to take control of their artistic careers. Our training program is designed to teach you how to use the 100s of satstreaming tools we've curated since writing the Tao of Bitcoin Banking in 2018. By turning your fans into direct patrons of your art, you can capture the power of Bitcoin for yourself and take control of your financial future." I believe that music is the best medium we can use to orange pill the masses of no-coiners, trojan horsing LN sats into their wallets by using your music as bait. Helping you all stack more sats along the way as we ALL do our part to help initiate hyperbitcoinization sooner than later. As I beta test this curriculum I'm making it available for free to the first movers who reach out me directly, requesting access and providing me with private criticism and public testimonials. This first module will be ready for your feedback soon. Just reach out to me in my DMs, either here, or on Telegram t.me/ov1_kenobi I'm gonna be leading a few people through this curriculum over the next few days to record some training materials and help refine my message. Let me know if you'd like to join this conversation. Here's an outline of the dozen or so tools I'm tactically integrating: -Voltage Cloud Node -LN Bits Instance thru Voltage -Podcast Index/wallet -Telegram SatoshisStream Bot/Lightning Tip Bot -Zeus Wallet -@npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 -Nostr onboarding tools -Vida.live/ov1 -CashApp/Strike App -Wavlake -ColdCard -@npub18tcc00lqpysdsurg567dllzg7jeyr5wcyk2v6w23rx3s3ygyze2qv32nxxco #[0] #[1] #[2] #[3]

Just as it is mostly irrelevant to people How their electricity is generated, transmitted, and stored, What electricity IS, and they don't need to be told Why electricity is useful, so it is with Bitcoin. The Bitcoiners around the world that need uncensorable, open, and borderless money that settles almost immediately, around the clock, without %-based transaction fees, do NOT need "Why" Bitcoin explained to them. What is needed though, and almost entirely lacking, is more than just how to safely store bitcoin, Bitcoin businesses and the patrons of these establishments NEED to understand How to USE bitcoin, How to EARN bitcoin, and How to SPEND their hard earned sats to provide for their daily basic needs. For true Bitcoiners, every expenditure is sats foregone, this incentives efficiency in our daily lives in every way; my chickens here in Hawaii are earning me sats equal to almost $1 USD per egg they lay, my home bio-gas generator is saving ~$50 per tank of propane not used, every trip not made into town is saving ~$.30 per mile driven in my truck. ALL of these become more sats stacked into my wallets. One of the only ways to improve the quality of my life in paradise once my off grid estate has been secured, my food grown, and prepared by my beautiful Queen, is having a beautiful soundtrack to decorate our time together as we celebrate Life together in paradise. This makes showing my gratitude with some of my hard earned LN sats by parting with them in direct patronage of the musicians who's art we enjoy. This will set these Musicians free to create more great art for us to enjoy as they #LearnHow2Earn their daily sats, becoming thriving artists no longer starved out by the existing predatory sandboxed systems.

So I wrote a thing... Outlining the journey no-coiners will have to take to operate natively in the realm of bitcoin. This was the first time I've used the phrase #satoshiseas, I like it and will keep using it. https://livingry-services.ghost.io/sailing-the-satoshi-seas-on-a-personal-and-professional-bitcoin-standard/ I sure do love all the latest and greatest tools for bitcoiners that have come out over the last year or two. I'm so grateful to all the developers helping realize the potential Satoshi released on the world. In this post I got to include Emeralize's new LN paywalled educational site, where I've curated ~28 satstreaming tools, with the Ghost blogging platform I'm just now testing out. This post I kept free though, as I sense that Gigi is correct that only bad content will stay behind paywalls, so I'm just requesting donations to my Alby LN address,. But in my other posts I've been experimenting with what Scribsats is making possible for paywalling content as well. I like how these small LN paywalls become a sort of screening device to keep no-coiners out of the room. I hope you all find this useful and welcome feedback on the ideas I share about living on a personal and professional #bitcoinstandard.
